LOCAL BY NATURE

In the Audubon Park Garden District, you’ll find everything there is to love about Orlando, in a neighborhood that lets you slow down and soak it all in. Lush gardens, vibrant murals, indie shops, award-winning eats, and a deep commitment to sustainability as Orlando’s first EcoDistrict – all held together by a community that feels like family.

Come see a different side of the City Beautiful.

HOLIDAY LIGHTS BIKE RIDE

Holiday Lights Bike Ride
Saturday, December 13, 2025
Pedal into the magic of the season with the annual Holiday Lights Bike Ride through the Audubon Park Garden District, courtesy of Orlando Bike Coalition and The Audubon Park Garden District. We’ll cruise at a relaxed, family-friendly pace past twinkling homes, with riders encouraged to deck out their bikes in their brightest holiday lights and decor. Grab your helmet, bundle up (Florida-style), and join neighbors for a cozy, joy-filled night ride that celebrates community, creativity, and the simple delight of seeing the neighborhood glow.

Plus, enjoy a visit from Santa.

Registration will take place at Audubon Park K-8 School (1500 Falcon Dr. Orlando) and begins at 6:30 p.m., with the ride departing at 7 p.m. sharp.

Helmets and lights required to ride.

UPCOMING HOLIDAY MARKETS

‘Tis the season to shop small and have fun doing it.

JOIN A VOLUNTEER TEAM!

The APGD Main Street program, a 501c3, makes this area a better, more successful and desirable place to live, own a business and work. But we couldn’t do it without your support, so please consider joining a volunteer team today.

You don’t have to live or work here to support our mission and we have plenty of ways to help make our community better. Email director@audubonparkgardens.com for more information or check out our event calendar here.

FRESH PRESS

Audubon Park Garden District won the Great American Main Street Award in 2016, and the bright strip of local businesses continues to be a gathering place for culinary creativity, coffee, and community. Harry P. Leu Gardens, a 50-acre botanical garden, is a main draw. You’ll find ancient oaks shading subtropical blooms of camellias, azaleas, roses, Florida natives, and tropical plants, all perched on a property overlooking Lake Rowena. Most popular are the garden’s movie date nights on the lawn.

There’s no shortage of places to stay caffeinated and satiated in Audubon Park. Grab a cup of good drip coffee at Stardust Vide & Coffee, a honey-pistachio latte at Lobos Coffee, or a strong cortado at Lineage Coffee. Stroll around . . . rows of romance novels at The New Romantics Bookstore . . . before you walk your way over to East End Market. Here you can find food for every craving. If you see a line out the door, it’s likely for Gideon’s Bakehouse and the infamous half-pound cookies. Read the full article on Southern Living here.
